Bigg Boss 16 December 30 Written Update: Salman Khan has a long conversation with Archana Gautam about her behaviour

Salman Khan starts the show by showing glimpses of the paap ka ghadha task, where most of the contestants, including Priyanka Chahar Chaudhary, Shalin Bhanot, Tina Datta, Sreejita De, Vikkas Maniktala, Sajid Khan, MC Stan, choose Archana Gautam to be soaked in her ‘sins’. Abdu chooses Vikkas, and Shiv chooses Shalin. The latter choice leads to an argument. Unsurprisingly, Sumbul chooses Shalin and Tina. Soundarya chooses Soundarya. Archana chooses Vikkas, Shalin and Tina.

As the contestants try to leave, Bigg Boss prevents them from leaving, as Archana has more people on her list to pour muddy water on. Archana again chooses Shalin and Priyanka. After the task, the contestants discuss the task, and how most people chose Archana. Sajid talks about how he disagreed with the nature of the task, which involved pouring muddy water.

Tina then has a heated discussion with the rest of the housemates about Shalin. Sajid asks Tina to take a stand. Tina says that she had trust issues because of Shalin. Tina leaves and tells Shalin to never approach her again. Archana argues with Vikkas because the latter spent a lot of time in the bathroom to shower. Archana also argues with Priyanka as well.

Salman talks about how most people targeted Archana, and how Shalin’s targeting also came as a surprise. After making a few jokes at Shalin’s expense, Salman met the housemates. Salman then has some fun with the housemates, especially making Stan and Sajid do some impressions.

Salman talks about how the fans express their opinions about what goes on in the Bigg Boss 16 house through social media. The host says that even the housemates have said at one point that Archana seems to be the face of Colors. Salman reminds how some of the contestants have been a part of some popular Colors shows. He goes on to say that whether or not Archana is a part of the house is up to the fans, and not the show’s makers.

In a shocking move, Salman asks the other contestants to leave, and talks to Archana alone. He tells Archana to try and watch her words, and not target housemates’ family when it comes to arguments. He declares that Archana’s image in front of the public has become very bad because of the things she has done and said, and a lot of people have started to hate her. The contestant says that she will try to change and become better. When Salman talks about how Archana talked about the things she said about Vikkas and Shalin’s family, she tells the host about how they had first provoked her. Salman advises her.

Vikkas tries to eavesdrop on the conversation, and Salman calls him out for it later. Salman talks about the various relationships in the house, including the ones between Tina-Shalin, Sumbul-Shalin, and even Archana and the kitchen’s. Salman talks about the issue where Abdu did not get the proper food he could eat. Nimrit says that the people had accidentally eaten Abdu’s portion of the food.

Salman addresses Shalin’s outburst over the food. Shalin becomes emotional talking about how Archana abused the former’s ex-wife. The host questions Shalin about what he said about Archana, despite the fact that everyone else was shouting as well. Salman analyses the situation, and it seems like Shalin does not understand the question. Soon everyone chips in the conversation, and realises that Shalin’s outburst was directed at Archana because he was at his breaking point because of what Archana has been saying.

Salman then talks about whether it's right to target another person’s social status and education as well. The host then talks about how almost every housemate has crossed lines in the midst of arguments. Bigg Boss also talks to Vikkas and Archana about the nature of their arguments.
